It is already known that the large-scale mod of Fallout: London will not work on the next-gen version of Fallout 4. Now GOG has confirmed that those who bought the fourth part on the Epic Games Store will not be able to dive into post-apocalyptic London at the release of the mod.
Why is GOG giving an answer to this? The fact is that the service agreed to host Fallout: London, since the modification turned out to be too heavy for popular thematic sites like Nexus Mods.
To play Fallout: London, you will need an older version of Fallout 4. The developers were unable to adapt “London” for the next-gen update, since even after several patches from Bethesda the title remains extremely unstable. Based on a comment from a GOG spokesperson, ensuring a downgrade to an older build could impact the mod's launch timing for different PC platforms in the short term.
The picture emerges like this:
- Fallout 4 from GOG is compatible with the mod thanks to a “simple and convenient rollback function” and a “downgrade” tool from the FOLON team.
- Fallout 4 from Steam - compatibility while debugging.
- Fallout 4 from the Epic Games Store will not be compatible at launch, since the store does not allow you to roll back to older versions.
How soon the “four” from EGS will become friends with Fallout: London is not specified. Owners of such copies can still count on a version of the modification specifically for the next-gen update. They promised to release it later when the game becomes more stable.
Specialists from the GOG quality control department are still checking Fallout: London, but this obstacle should be the last on the way of modification to release. The enthusiasts from FOLON themselves assure that the start is “just around the corner.”
